Manhart Turned The BMW M4 Into A 922-HP Supercar Killer

BMW M cars are hardly lacking in power from the factory. However, sometimes not even the stock output is enough to quell one’s quest for performance, and it falls upon tuners like Manhart to step in and work their magic. As we’ve seen with models like the M3 Touring and even the ever-polarizing XM, the German outfit is no stranger to taking BMW outputs to absolutely insane levels. The latest release is no exception, as Manhart has turned the BMW M4 into a 900-horsepower missile.

Making Nearly 1,000 Ponies From A BMW Inline-Six

It’s called the MH4 900, and, according to Manhart’s specifications, the build starts off with a 510-horsepower BMW M4Competition. Though the 3.0-liter S58 inline six-cylinder is left in place, it gets treated to some TTH turbochargers, a Manhart intercooler, as well as some forged pistons and connecting rods, a carbon fiber intake, and an ECU remapping. Taken together, Manhart claims that the changes bring output up to 922 horsepower and 878 lb-ft of torque.

For perspective, not even BMW’s electric models can match that torque number, as the XM Label Red tops out at 738 lb-ft and the i7 M70 reaches a max of 811 lb-ft. Accordingly, to ensure that the gearbox can handle such an enormous increase in power, Manhart also includes a Stage 2 transmission upgrade rated for up to 958 lb-ft of torque.

With stopping power for the M4 coupe already supplied by a set of carbon ceramic discs, Manhart left the stock brakes in place. However, to improve the stance and handling, the MH4 900 comes with a set of height-adjustable H&R coilovers, and Manhart has worked to optimize the suspension for the increase in power.

Giving The M4 A Menacing Black Makeover

As part of the MH4 900 package, Manhart also gives the BMW M4 an aesthetic overhaul. The carbon body kit adds a new three-piece spoiler lip, a hood with GTR intakes, as well as new radiator grilles, a spoiler, flaps, mirror caps, side skirts, fender side louvers, and a rear diffuser with side extensions. Shod in black paint and accented by champagne-colored Manhart decals, it makes for a clean look.

Rounded out by features like a carbon-coated quad-tailpipe exhaust setup, a Manhart Clubsport roll bar, and an engine dress-up kit, it’s made only better by the subtle champagne details that fill the interior. Though it’s shown riding on some matte black Raffa 10.5 x 20-inch and 11.5 x 21-inch wheels, Manhart will supply other colors based on customer requests. Left up to us, we’d swap them out for a gold set, if only to play on iconic motorsport liveries like the Lotus John Player Special cars. There’s no word on how much an MH4 900 will cost, but we can’t imagine it’ll come cheap, even if Manhart is marketing its ability to undercut “high-end supercars costing millions.”
